The Courseware arrives with a Help block to assist students while they are becoming familiar with the courseware. The first section below, Managing the Courseware Help Block, is a reminder of how a teacher can manipulate a block. This section is followed by the section Using the Courseware Help Block. It is suggested that you follow these steps to help you make the students aware of this resource, and how they, in turn, can use it to work more independently.
Managing the Courseware Help Block
1. Click on the Turn editing on button.
2. Locate the Courseware Help block.
3. Click on the Block Actions icon (Cog icon).
4. Editing options appear in the Courseware Help block.
5. With the Configure HTML block option, you can create a title for the block and position the block. This block does not have a title as a default setting.
When your students no longer require the Courseware Help block, you may use the Hide HTML block option to remove it from the course view.
